A killer whale surfaces through a small hole in the ice near Inukjuak, in Northern Quebec on Tuesday. Mayor Peter Inukpuk urged the Canadian government Wednesday to send an icebreaker as soon as possible to crack open the ice and help the pod of about a dozen trapped orcas find open water. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans said its ships were too far away to reach the orcas in time. However, official later in the week reported the orcas may have swam free of the ice.
